Injured While Ride-sharing Service
With the explosion of ride-sharing services in the Long Beach, CA area, you may not be the one behind the wheel when an accident occurs; but you still may be hurt.While contacting Uber®, Lyft®, or any other type of ride hailing service may be convenient, it isn't always safe to use. And, since you are not operating the car or truck, you also aren't in control of your destiny. You would anticipate that as "professional" drivers, the people behind the wheel of ride-sharing services would have highly-evolved skills that complement their capacity to get you to your final destination safely, but unfortunately that is not consistently the situation. Studies show that since 2011 ride-sharing companies have increased traffic deaths in the US by 2%-3% (University of Chicago and Rice University), meaning you are at greater risk today than before these services existed.So what should you do if you are involved with an accident while a paying passenger in a "commercial" vehicle driven as part of a rideshare? Call us today at (877) 278-6890. This is especially true as the legal landscape of these companies continues to change; laws may vary across state lines and we know the terrain. So if you are involved in an accident while riding in a rideshare service, call Law Offices of John C. Ye, APLC for a free, no obligation consultation.
Limousines and Taxi
Choosing a traditional cab or limousine service is a little different. Because they have been in existence so long, the legal implications and operations are much more established. While ride-hailing services like Uber® and Lyft® are relatively new, taxis and limos have been around since before cars were invented! The key difference between dealing with Uber® and Lyft® or a taxi/limousine service is the underlying business; Uber® and Lyft® are nationwide, while taxi and chauffeur driven car services are usually locally owned.Because cabs and limos are normally company/corporately owned, they may be regulated even more strictly and subject to higher standards of care. Our team of experienced lawyers will ensure that you receive the care and consideration your individual case demands and that you won't get "bullied" by a large transportation company. Call Law Offices of John C. Ye, APLC today for a FREE CONSULTATION.It goes without saying that getting in a crash with a taxi or limousine - even if you are in a different vehicle - will also require the ability of a reliable lawyer. Call us today at (877) 278-6890.
Rental Car Accidents
If you are involved in an accident while operating a rental car, you will surely have to deal with additional hassles not present in the case of a vehicle accident with your private vehicle.Along with the hassle of the accident, any injuries, any property damage, and the physical and emotional well-being of all people involved in the actual accident, having to fight with a corporate entity like a rental car company adds another layer of difficulty to your situation. Factors like:
- Determining responsibility - Who is at fault and to what degree?
- Insurance coverage - Did you buy extra insurance from the rental car company? What does your personal insurance policy cover? Who pays first?
In short, while being part of an automobile accident is aggravating enough, the additional responsibility of reporting to the rental car company can be daunting. Allow our legal team to take care of everything for you. Call (877) 278-6890 now to speak with one of our lawyers. We have years of practical experience in rental car accident law and have helped countless people in the Long Beach, CA area.
Rear End Crashes
Even if you do every single thing correctly, you can still be involved in a traffic accident. One of the most common types of accidents are rear-end collisions and make up 29% of all accidents (NHTSA, 2017)So if your car is waiting at a stop sign or intersection (you are "at rest") and the car behind you fails to stop ("an object in motion"), your vehicle will be acted upon by that "unbalanced force" and will be forced forward when contact is established. Not only will this damage your vehicle, but since you are also "at rest" inside the vehicle, the "unbalanced force" will also act on your body like it does your car, creating a "whiplash" effect that can cause you serious trauma.The more rapidly the vehicle that hits you is going, the more potent the "unbalanced force" will be, and the more substantial the harm to you and your vehicle. It doesn't matter, however, if the vehicle that hits you is moving fast or slow, there will be damages, and you need to contact us to assess that damage and your potential alternatives.You need an ally who will fight for you and your protection under the law. You need Law Offices of John C. Ye, APLC. Call us at (877) 278-6890 to receive the Long Beach, CA area's best professional counsel.

Can a Car Crash Lawyer Help with Settlement Claim Adjusters?
Absolutely. In fact, you shouldn’t communicate with a claims adjuster until after you have spoken to a legal professional. Claims adjusters are employed by the insurance carrier, they do not work for you. It is their duty to protect their organization's money, and they can’t accomplish that if they voluntarily provide you with the greatest settlement, so they're going to offer you less. Law Offices of John C. Ye, APLC will get you more.
Is the Man Or Woman Who Hit Me Lawfully Accountable for My Medical Bills?
They may be accountable for all, a portion, or none of your medical-related bills. Since California is a Comparative fault state, you are allowed to receive reasonable and customary medical expenses, but you are only qualified to receive the portion that is not your responsibility. So, if the car accident is determined to be 100% the fault of a second party, you ought to recover 100% of the damages. If, however, you are found to be in the wrong in any way, your reimbursement will be diminished by the proportionate percentage.For example, if you were struck by a car (they were at fault) but you were not wearing a seatbelt (as required under California Vehicle Code Section 27363), and trauma you suffered were 30% caused by your seat belt infraction, your payment may be reduced by 30%.

The staff is very helpful and communicative. They make you feel like a priority and update you on your case. I am someone who is anxious and forgetful so it was nice to have them take care of everything for me and just confirm or relay information with me. I always got reminders and reassurance. If I ever had any questions they were a call, text or email away. I want to thank Nancy for being so helpful and patient with me. I highly recommend this Law Office.
